L IVER transplantation has been increasingly used to treat end-stage liver diseases since the introduction of Cy A in combination with other immunosuppressive agents. 1 Although Cy A has a powerful immunosuppressive effect on allograft rejection, many transplant recipients still experience rejection episodes that are often irreversible. The nephrotoxicity of Cy A in some recipients has necessit...

The study of many biological processes requires the analysis of three-dimensional (3D) structures that change overtime. Optical sectioning techniques can provide 3D data from living specimens; however, when 3D data are collected over a period of time, the quantity of image information produced leads to difficulties in interpretation. A computer-based system is described that permits the analysi...

PURPOSE: To develop a method for direct measurement, using anatomic specimens, of the precision of MR-guided stereotaxic location and to describe its application to a 1.5-T MR unit with a Leksell stereotaxic frame. METHODS: Small pieces of gel foam ( 1 X 1 X 1 mm), soaked in gadopentetate dimeglumine, were stereotaxically introduced into formalin-fixed human heads using a Leksell D (three exper...
